"Why did u choose to come today?" Joss starts asking while eating.

"Why? U don't want me to?" Gawin sips some water from the bottle.

"No I want u to but u know what I mean. U were mad at me right?"

"I am."

"Then why?"

"Because I'm afraid u might rot here if left alone."

"So u forgive me?"

"I didn't say that. I just don't want u to be sick cause there's a lot of things for u to do."

"Like?"

"Like helping out my parents, taking care of ur company, attending meetings etc etc."

"Hm, right."

"If it wasn't for my parents then I wouldn't have come today but they insist me on paying u a visit and I was afraid that u might die so that's why I'm coming here."

"Then guess I should get sick a lot."

"Don't say such things."

"But I want u to come see me and talk to me normally like this."

"Well that's because I forgive u like 5% ."

"So that means we can talk and see each other?"

"Um." Gawin raise his eyebrows. "But not often just sometimes."

"Ok sometimes it is. Well something is better than nothing. Just wait, I'll make u forgive me 100%."

"Keep dreaming."

"Then what about when I die? Will u still not forgive me then also?"

"No."

"Is that so? Then I guess I need to live for a long long time and earn more points."

"Maybe." Gawin shrugs.

Joss smiles and they both continues eating. Both of them finishes their food. Joss also eats all of his portion because of Gawin's presence where otherwise he wouldn't have.

"I will leave now." Gawin says after helping Joss cleans up the plates.

"So early?" Joss turns towards him.

"I still gotta help my parents out. Someone is sick and couldn't help them out anymore so I need to be there." Gawin says sarcastically looking straight.

"Oh, right." Joss smiles. "Then I will drop u there."

"No thanks. I don't want to die yet. A sick person offering for a lift. No thanks."

"Haha, ok then, Lee will drop u ."

"Ok." Gawin stands up followed by Joss. "I had a great time talking to u today, Mr.Joss Wayar." Gawin extends his hand.

"Haha, me too Mr.Gawin Caskey." Joss also extends his hand shaking their hands.

"Hahaha...." Joss laughs out loud. Gawin just makes a face at him.

"Then I will get going. See u later." Gawin starts walking out.

"Um, see u later." Joss follows him from behind with the plates in his hand.

They walks downstairs and the plates are taken from Joss by the maid.

'Thanks aunt.'

'No problem son.'

Joss gives the maid a smile.

'Lee, drop Gawin off .'

'Kub.' Lee bows to him before heading outside.

"Bye, take care of yourself."

"I will. Thanks for stopping by today."

"No problem. It's my pleasure."

"Text me when u reach home."

"I will see." Gawin replies looking to the side.

"Ok." Joss smiles.

Joss and Gawin exchange their phone numbers. Even though Joss can get his number without Gawin giving it to him, still he choose to wait for him to give it to him directly.

From then on, they exchange texts with each other. Gawin doesn't really initiate it. Joss would always initiate texting first. Reporting everything he did whole day.

Good morning text, when he leaves for his work, when he takes his lunch, what he ate, when he comes back home, what he ate for dinner and a long text of what he went throughout the day along with a good night text along with a heart emoji without fail.

With this much consistency, he will probably crack every exam out there. He's head over heels for Gawin. Well if they were dating right now then Joss will be a hen pecked husband for sure. He also was one before but if they get together again then he would be more then before.

Gawin doesn't know the power he holds over Joss. He doesn't realise it or more of like he doesn't want to realise it. Joss knows the power and the authority Gawin has over him and he's ready to worship his man for the deity he is.

Even touching him without his permission feels like a sin. Uttering his name out makes him feel blessed.

In Gawin's feet he wants to rest and in Gawin's embrace he wants to die. In Gawin's lap he wants to rest his head and in Gawin's shoulder he wants to rely on when things get hard.

That night, they talk about some simple things related to work and couldn't talk about deep and family related things and most importantly talks relating to their feelings.

Honestly talking about such things now becomes hard for them. One feels awkward and the other feels hesitant to do so.

Just one look and they would understand each other what the other person is thinking about and knows the other one isn't ready to talk about such things. Both decided to wait until they both feels more comfortable to do so.

On Gawin's side, Dani and him is still in good terms for now as Dani is being very careful with everything she does. No problem arise between them because Dani is behaving well and Gawin doesn't mind dating her if she doesn't act out.

Gawin doesn't know that Joss knows about his relationship. He just replies normally to Joss whenever he text him. Late or early, tired or not, even if he doesn't initiate the conversation first, he would always reply back to him.

Joss also talks about his own things and doesn't mentions anything about Gawin's dating. Even though this fact still hurts him but he choose to avoid it. At last, he's able to build his relation with Gawin again so he doesn't want to ruin it with anything.

Joss is living again and he doesn't wants to be a walking death again. He wants to receive Gawin's love again and is willing to do everything to get it even avoiding and disregarding everything else.

Dani doesn't know about Gawin's past and she doesn't wants to as she thinks that past is past and she's the present and future so what's the use of knowing the past.

Everything is working well with her but the relationship with her and Gawin's parents is still not good. Even though she pays a visit to them from now and then, the interaction isn't good. For Gawin's and Dani's parents relationship, it's good all over and it's really good as compare to Dani's with Gawin's parents.

Gawin's parents doesn't like Dani at all but she's their son's girlfriend so they don't have no choice but to accept her unwillingly. They also tries to interact with her a little more then before hoping they could build some good relation with her.

Things were starting to look up for everyone with the relationship between each other becoming a little bit better. But when things becomes good, there will always comes a problem on the way to mess everything up and just like that for them also a problem more like an earthquake comes to shake things up and breaks everything to the point where healing and mending is nearly impossible.
